Yeah, ATONIES again.

The first rack, the first game, my opponent plays JAWER* for 46, and I have a 94 point double double through and no sevens if I challenge it off.  I moaned (really!) and thought for about half a second that perhaps it was new and then said, to myself, "the hell with it" and played the double double.  I NEVER know what to do in that situation.

Statistical anomaly:  I have gone first once in the last 10 games.

I like this club.  Quirky, bright people, good games.  There's one person I can have difficulty getting along with, but I'm learning skillz what with the basenjis and positive reinforcement, and I'm hoping to learn patience, at the very least.  I do a lot of self-talk when I deal with that person.  "It's not who they are; it's their disorders, whatever they may be."  This is not a foolproof method.

I'm learning more about the holes in my game these days.  So look out.
